The various organizations and groups of New York’s Lincoln Center have banded together in a call to save the National Endowment for the Arts, issuing a joint statement calling for the preservation of its funding. “The total cost of the N.E.A. is less than one dollar a year for every American,” the statement reads. “But because it is so successful and its imprimatur so prestigious, every dollar the N.E.A. contributes leads to nine additional dollars being donated from other sources.”
